Prospects
Looking ahead at the full year, the implementation of healthcare reform measures will present more difficulties for operations within the pharmaceutical industry. Supply-side reform polices aim at improving the availability of new products and ensuring generic drugs remain in line with the Consistency Evaluation standards and amendments of the essential drug catalogue, which will have a short-term negative impact on the industry, but at the end they will help speed up the upgrade of product quality and structure and see healthier development of the industry. To seize this valuable opportunity, the Group will pursue fast expansion and consolidate its industry leadership by leveraging its strong R&D pipeline and the excellent quality of its products.
